Hey, thanks for the comment! That is a topic we could talk about for hours if you are really interested in the history of money (btw, you should check the money museum in Frankfurt as it would be an awesome post). I think older people are more likely to repel Bitcoin (for not understanding computers) than younger people are to repel gold. For younger folks Bitcoin sound cooler than that "ancient golden rock" \o\
I respect both assets (gold and bitcoin). I just lean towards Bitcoin for a reason: imagine we have to pack a bag and flea the country in 10 minutes. Bitcoin is impossible to be confiscated unless someone torture us. Anything else... not so sure.
Most of my friends are into stocks too. I think stock prices are dysfunctional ever since the central banks began to hyper-inflate the money supply.
